This time of year I'm as wasted as a ray of sunshine when all the world wants to sleep. I watch, the peripatetic eyes of others' souls wander aimlessly, little lost puppies more like food for the keep than possible companions; this time of year nothing holds me dear. It's moon's like this when I remember the ease of running free, cutting all the cloying threads of faith's humanity, when none could stand before me when anger was set free; this time of year, it is easy to peel away the buckled thin veneer of soft propriety and sheer away, a ricochet screaming out of sight; last night, the tremolo wail of a moonstruck coyote drifted through the Winter crack in the window by my bed. He said, "Come join me, I am hunting on the empty river's bank and I tire of being lonely in the night." ©2004 by icebox |

Icebox -- this was a truly outstanding portrait. I totally understand where you are coming from (tho'I have no desire left to hunt!). We leave behind us here at PIP small time capsules -- Some are present, some are past, some wishes, some only passing thoughts or feelings pretended or remembered by the writer. When I read you, there is no question, you write in present tense. I am not always as honest, I confess. |

 (sigh) Sometimes we are never even hunting physically, we just are looking for something we are unaware of but has much meaning when we realize it! (big angel hugs) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Icebox, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "You'll find something that's enough to keep you |

icebox The moon is beautiful tonight here and has a ring around it from the fabric of late night fog. I always enjoy reading your thoughts and knowing how you see things. I'd like to hear a coyote...we used to hear them every night here, foraging in trash cans in the alley...it's been a long time. Hugs! |

smile. It's been a long winter, even here in N.O. I'm a bit "hungry" too.  You captured the restlessness that fueled last night's pacing. hugs. |
